Bucs injury report: Donovan Smith limited, but practicing

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got a bit scare when starting left tackle Donovan Smith went down with a knee injury during a preseason practice, but they could still end up having him in the lineup for Week 1.

The Bucs released their first injury report of the week on Wednesday, and Smith wasn’t the only offensive lineman limited in his practice action:

Regardless of Smith’s status, one likely disappointment coming for Bucs fans Sunday will be the absence of first-round pick Vita Vea, who still isn’t participating in practice. Fellow rookie M.J. Stewart is back at practice after sustaining a foot injury during the preseason.
